I am glad to have been an inspiration Stenhammar can write some endearing melodies but his modulations can sometimes sound a bit unnatural and clumsy. Especially here in no.5 which is why I like no.1 better.

These are beautifully and sensitively played. In no.1, some of the arpeggios sound a bit labored, and overall in this piece you could be a bit more careful with the pedal. In no.5, the staccato chords could be a little more bouncy. But these are very minor points. Now hurry up with the remaining three. And haven't you still got these sonatas ready yet ?

I'll take a look at that topic. I didn't know things changed here when I was absent.

These are some of the arpeggios of no. 1.

The intervals of the arpeggios are very irregular, and sometimes the melody is inside them. And the piece is supposed to be played softly. They may sound labored, but I couldn't solve this problem in a better way.

Merry Christmas!

(see how excited I am for Christmas: )

I had a listen to your pieces here. The first recording I would say you have managed to play in a dreamy style which would seem the proper style for a piece marked "tranquil y suave." One thing I noticed was the right hand seemed to play forte and the left hand more mf or mp. For criticism, I thought you could have used the pedal more to blend the notes in the triplets more.

The second recording reminded me (the beginning of it) a bit of Greig's "puck" from his Lyric pieces though, admittedly, not half as fast! I liked your ascending arp. at 1:09 and your phrasing after that. Your transition to the repeat was well done, though I though you could have made the passage at 2:10 a little softer.

I enjoyed listening to these. Have a happy new year!
